Kill Team: Salvation – Preview

Alright, fellow Kill Team enthusiasts, buckle up because we’re diving headfirst into the wild new season of mayhem – Kill Team: Salvation. We’ve already met the Scout Squad and Blades of Khaine, but now it’s time to unveil the rest of this action-packed extravaganza. Picture this: the Gallowdark is now orbiting Bheta-Decima, and chaos has ensued. Chunks of the space hulk are crashing down, Imperial society is in disarray, and kill teams are on the hunt for intel, tech treasures, and a good ol’ brawl.

Now, the game board itself is a beast. It’s double-sided, and the center stage is stolen by a Hazardous Area – a warp-tainted sea that no one wants to dip their toes into. You’ll be traversing raised walkways, dashing, jumping, and flying between them like a seasoned acrobat. Height matters, my friends, especially when you’re trying to get a bead on your foes.

But here’s the kicker – the toxic ocean spray and industrial smog create a giant smokescreen of Obscuring space. Shooting and moving become a strategic dance, with gantry platforms serving as your lifeline to rain down firepower on unsuspecting opponents. It’s vertical, it’s chaotic, and it’s a whole new ball game.

Now, let’s talk campaign, because what’s a season without a gripping narrative, right? Kill Team: Salvation introduces the Bheta-Decima Infiltration campaign. Your kill teams are not just here for the bloodshed; they’re here to claim territory on a wide map, seizing Intel and dealing with random hazards popping up across this doomed world. It’s like a deadly game of chess, but with more explosions.

And don’t even get me started on the Critical Operations – nine new missions tailor-made for the Bheta-Decima terrain. Clamber over walkways, wrestle Vantage Points from your foes, drain power from malfunctioning capacitors – the options are as diverse as the war-torn landscape itself. This ain’t your grandma’s Kill Team; it’s a whole new level of tactical warfare.

Tomorrow, the Warhammer TV crew is throwing down a Battle Report, showcasing the creaking platforms of this dying planet. Aeldari fans, keep those peepers open for an in-depth look at the Blades of Khaine rules. It’s vertical, it’s intense, and it’s Kill Team like you’ve never seen before. Get ready to rewrite the rules and dominate Bheta-Decima!
